The aura that erupted from Shen Zhao instantly caused the Asura Emperor's expression to freeze.
How could someone at the peak of the Great Emperor realm be threatened with death by an ant in dire straits?
A cold gaze, a resolute attitude.
The Asura Emperor was puzzled as to why he could still speak with such confidence even in his current state.
Was it a premeditated scheme, or just a bluff?
He quickly realized that he, a peak Emperor, the strongest being in the world, could not be manipulated by an arrogant brat who had just entered the Emperor realm.
"Were your grand pronouncements your final words before your death? If so, then I can only say that you are too naive!"
"You're truly naive!" Shen Zhao replied coldly. "Asura Emperor, ruler of the Nine Nether Asura Kingdom, you think you have everything under your control?"
You thought you could break through to the Yellow Springs Pass with your powerful cultivation, but a year has passed and you still haven't been able to take even half a step into the Yellow Springs Pass.
Because you made several fatal mistakes and missed the best opportunity.
The Asura Emperor frowned: "What mistakes have I made?"
"Misjudgment 1."
Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, you suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the battle and made serious misjudgments about the enemy's and your own military situation.
You thought the Iron Flame Army had many tricks up its sleeve, which prevented you from launching a full-scale attack on the Yellow Springs Pass. Instead, you adopted a piecemeal tactic, sending troops to the Yellow Springs Pass time and again.
Your purpose is to investigate the truth, but little do you know that by doing so...
It also gave me enough time to plan the next steps, enough time that I even had time to research your daily preferences.
The Asura Emperor frowned slightly.
"Two mistakes were made."
The cultivators around you completely overwhelm my Iron Flame Army. Even though you lost two Quasi-Emperors and four Manifestation Saints in the first battle...
However, this still doesn't change the fact that there is a huge gap between us.
If you were to go all out at this point, sending a vanguard of cultivators to launch a surprise attack...
Even if the Iron Flame Army could fight against a hundred men, they would ultimately be unable to escape annihilation.
It's a pity that with such a great opportunity right in front of you, you hesitated and dared not take the risk.
This clearly shows you lack the courage to make a decisive, decisive move.
"Don't overthink things and make three mistakes."
You have never truly understood the Iron Flame Army's real purpose, naively believing that the army's appearance was merely to prevent the Nine Netherworlds from entering the world.
So you're not in a hurry, because in your heart, it's only a matter of time before Jiuyou destroys this army. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, the outcome won't change.
"Four mistakes led to defeat, five mistakes led to loss of power."
The Yellow Springs Pass stretches for three thousand miles; even if my forces were doubled, it would be impossible to completely defend all the strategic passes.
In the early stages of the war, you could send troops to occupy advantageous terrain within the Yellow Springs Pass, establish new defensive lines, and restrict the Iron Flame Army's operational area.
However, a year has passed, and the Nine Netherworld Army is still patrolling and encamped outside the Yellow Springs Gate, which has once again given me enough time to breathe.
Enough to lay a trap, perfect new tactics, and wait for you to walk right into it!
"And one last mistake!"
Shen Zhao waved his cloak, pointing directly at the Asura Emperor.
The air froze instantly...
A bead of sweat dripped from the Asura Emperor's forehead.
"You underestimate the Iron Flame Army, and you underestimate me even more, Shen Zhao, the God of War from the Yintian Dynasty!"
"ridiculous!"
Enraged, the Asura Emperor roared like thunder.
Even if what you said about miscounting is true, so what!
Once you die, the Iron Flame Army will lose its soul, and the Nine Nether Army will slaughter you like lambs.
Slaughter them all!
"That's your biggest mistake," Shen Zhao sneered. "Do you know why I lured you to the Valley of Oblivion?"
"To reduce the casualties of the Iron Flame Army? To buy time?"
No matter what your schemes are, in the face of absolute power, you are ultimately just a pitiful ant.
"Wrong!"
Shen Zhao's calm and powerful voice echoed through the valley, causing the Asura Emperor's face to stiffen.
"Do you know why I launched the attack at this time? My purpose from beginning to end was to lure you out!"
The moment you die, the balance of power between the Nine Netherworld Army and the Iron Flame Army will shift; the moment you die, the morale of the Nine Netherworld Army will inevitably collapse.
For this step, I didn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of Iron Flame Army soldiers, just to lure you into this Valley of Oblivion!
"Then I must remind you! Do you have enough power to shake me in the slightest?"
"You think the peak of the Great Emperor is unshakeable? That's because your vision is limited to the Nine Netherworlds!"
The Asura Emperor was furious and immediately summoned wind and thunder, ready to unleash his power.
"Enough. I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore. No matter how eloquent you are, you and the Iron Flame Army will not escape annihilation today."
A thunderous palm strike was unleashed.
Suddenly, a whirlwind swept in, like a tidal wave, relentlessly attacking Shen Zhao.
With a loud explosion, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the stone wall behind Shen Zhao collapsed, burying his figure in an instant.
...
"No, Shen Zhao!"
Yu Xiyan cried out in alarm, trying to stop this from happening.
However, her outstretched hand passed straight through the void, and she grasped nothing.
"Brother Chen..."
Su Yunying covered her mouth, trying her best not to show her sadness.
...
"After all that talk, he's still just an ant. What a waste of my time!"
Having landed a successful blow, the Asura Emperor displayed his kingly demeanor, glanced at the ruins, and turned to leave.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming killing intent surge up behind him, which caused a strong shock to his mind.
